THE STORY
In the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs, during Game 7 between the Colorado Avalanche and the San Jose Sharks, a potential game-tying goal by the Avalanche was disallowed after a successful offside challenge by the Sharks. The review determined that Gabriel Landeskog had not legally tagged up at the blue line before the puck entered the offensive zone, leading to a 3-2 victory for the Sharks and their advancement to the Western Conference Final.
